Collaborative - BPC-DP: Testers to Techies: Culturally Aware and Authentic Computing Education through Game Testing

佐治亚理工学院与莫尔豪斯学院和佐治亚计算机学院合作。BPC联盟，提议创建从测试到技术（TtT）计划，以吸引低收入的非裔美国青年参与计算。这个项目会影响十几岁的男孩吗？对电子游戏的热爱鼓励他们参与计算机教育，并将他们引入技术职业。它将为青少年提供作为游戏测试员的学徒，为他们提供为真正的游戏公司测试游戏的真实体验。此外，它还将为他们提供一个以游戏和游戏测试为重点的情境化计算课程。这个项目将把他们引入游戏行业，不是为了培养未来的游戏测试员，而是为了利用他们对电子游戏的兴趣，让他们能够从游戏的黑盒子里看到计算的力量和潜力。

The Georgia Institute of Technology, in collaboration with Morehouse College and the Georgia Computes! BPC Alliance, proposes the creation of the Tester to Techie (TtT) program to engage low-income African American youth in computing. The program will leverage teenage boys? love of video games to encourage their participation in computing education and to introduce them to technical careers. It will offer teens an apprenticeship as game testers, providing them with an authentic experience beta testing games for real game companies. In addition, it will provide them with a contextualized computing curriculum focused on games and game testing. The program will introduce them to the game industry, not to create future game testers, but to exploit their interest in video games, so that they can look inside the black box of the games to see the power and potential of computation.
